It takes a lot of energy and creativity to make such screwed up lives carry on. And the kind of will people have to survive, year after year, dealing with that stuff, is weirdly impressive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
Isn't it amazing the way the future succeeds in creating an appropriate past?
For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication, hard work, and visualising doing well - that worked for a bit, but then it stopped. I've realised you have to be more practical and mature to make things actually happen.
It's the great tragedy - people employed in ways that don't fully tap everything they do best in life.
It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable.
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
The quality of one's emotional life changes over the years, doesn't it? But the basic instincts and desires, greed and hope, seem to remain constant. In the larger scope of things, there's a sense of fulfillment to living a creative life. So I guess that's what keeps me going.
Some folks believe that hardship breeds artistic creativity. I don't buy it. One can put up with poverty for a while when one is young, but it will inevitably wear a person down.
The thing about the creative process is it's so chaotic.
The successful people of this world take life as it comes. They just go out and deal with the world as it is.
